In the same vein as Supernatural, Hellboy, and Blade
A secret society of monster hunters. A holy revolver forged to eradicate demons. A possessed man with a tragic past. A rising evil bent on destroying them all.
Matt Hollis is the current wielder of the holy weapon, DÄMOREN. With it, he stalks and destroys demons. A secret society called the VALDUCANS has taken an interest in Matt's activities. They see him as a reckless rogue - little more than a "cowboy" corrupted by a monster - and a potential threat to their ancient order.
As knights and their sentient weapons begin dying, Matt teams up with other hunters of his kind such as LUIZA, a woman with a conquistador blade; ALLAN, an Englishman with an Egyptian khopesh; MALCOLM, a voodoo priest with a sanctified machete; and TAKAIRA, a naginata-swinging Samurai. As the hunters become the hunted, they must learn to trust one another before a powerful demonic entity thrusts the world into a terrible and ageless darkness.

Where does Damoren rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'd rank Damoren in the top ten percent of all audio books I've heard: the combination of Skorkowsy's propulsive prose and Bray's delivery is a perfect match. The action never stops, yet the characters come through as individuals. Kudos for these two for a terrific collaboration on a gripping story that is the beginning of a series yet has a satisfying conclusion all its own.What was one of the most memorable moments of Damoren?
I fell in love as soon as Matt Hollis, current wielder of the holy weapon, Damoren, was introduced. Matt and his fellow demon-stalkers makes a believer out of me. Matt, the reckless loose cannon that can slash his way through any opposition is masterfully drawn, and his enemies will make you cringe. Although normally I'm not a fan of named weapons, in this story, each special weapon has its job, and a unique personality wielding it.Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first audio-book I've heard that is narrated by R.C. Bray, and it won't be the last.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Bang goes the evil.Any additional comments?

The demons were created to prey on man. They evolved. They repelled. There are many species. And ... they have a plan.
Unrelated allusions to BSG aside, the real facts are that Seth Skorkowsky expertly wrote a riveting and exciting novel that stands on its own in terms of creativity and plot details. The primary characters are given enough backstory to make them interesting and the protagonist, Matt Hollis, is both likable and somewhat of an intriguing enigma on his own.
Couple that with a top tier narrator like R. C. Bray and be prepared to over-prioritize listening sessions.
A plethora of devious demons!

Would you listen to Damoren again? Why?
Probably not. Without the central mystery, it's just an above-average action story.Who was your favorite character and why?
Hard to say. The characters were not as fully developed as I'd like.What aspect of R. C. Bray’s performance would you have changed?
Accents, man. Get better at 'em.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No.Any additional comments?
If you had told me a week ago that I would find and listen to an enjoyable urban fantasy, I'd say, "what, is Peace Talks out already?" I don't mean to suggest that all good urban fantasy begins and ends with Jim Butcher, because I'm sure that's not strictly true. It just seems like it. Mr. Skorkowsky, in his debut effort, shows quite a bit of promise. Sure, the prose wasn't absolutely spectacular, and the characterization wasn't quite as gelled as some would like it, and protagonist Matt Hollis is a BIT Gary Stu-ish at the moment, but Skorkowsky has set himself up with a set of wonderful tools for great storytelling.All in all, the plotting is well-done, the central mystery engaging, some of the more horrific scenes VERY well executed (let's keep the dark in that dark fantasy, Mr. Skorkowsky!). The climactic set piece hits all the right notes. All that remains is some polish and elbow grease, but properly applied, I think we've seen the first hints of a potential new talent.
I don't say this often: I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Hey, not bad!
